It's great to see Doc Searls discussing Facebook's place in the development of Internet use.

"[Facebook] is heavy weather, but the Net is geology. Our geology." Searls said it about Hailstorm (remember that?) back in the day. Historical perspective helps with understanding current events.

I think that the difference with Hailstorm is that it never really gained traction. Facebook already has a lot of traction.
